What Exactly Is an AI Agent?

Matt lays it out clearly:

“These aren’t just pedestrian tools like ChatGPT or Midjourney. These agents are different. They’re outcomes-based systems. They make decisions. Just like you would.”

Level 1 AI answers questions.
Level 2 connects workflows (think: Zapier).
Level 3—AI Agents—actually do the work.

From qualifying leads and answering emails to building SOPs and booking calls, AI agents act like autonomous digital employees. And they don’t get sick, don’t forget things, and never need a vacation.

Let’s meet the five agents Matt recommends to build and run a million-dollar business.

Agent #1: The Closer Agent – Your Personal Sales Machine

Let’s be real—sales is the lifeblood of every business.

But doing it manually? Exhausting. Expensive. Unsustainable.

Enter the Closer Agent—an AI sales assistant that handles everything from:

Lead scraping and research
Qualification and enrichment
Follow-up sequences
Booking calls on your calendar

Matt explains:

“Before a sales call, an AI pulls past chats, summarizes them, highlights key talking points. You show up fully briefed—without lifting a finger.”

Even more impressive? Matt’s team uses an AI voice assistant named Becky to answer inbound calls, qualify leads in real time, and schedule appointments.

This isn’t futuristic. It’s happening right now.

Agent #2: The Assistant Agent – Reclaim Your Time

Matt has a mantra:

“If you don’t have an assistant—you are the assistant.”

This agent handles all the boring-but-critical admin work:

Sorting and responding to emails
Managing your calendar
Booking travel, restaurants, events—you name it

And it’s not just about saving time—it’s about optimizing your revenue hours. As Matt puts it:

“Your calendar is your revenue generation machine. And if AI protects it, that’s money in the bank.”

Even better, his team routes everything through Slack, so all requests—big or small—stay right in your workflow.

Agent #3: The Workflow Agent – Systematize Everything

Operations make or break businesses. But building processes? Most business owners either delay it or wing it.

The Workflow Agent changes the game.

“Record yourself doing a task,” Matt says. “The AI will transcribe it, create SOPs, checklists—automatically.”

Tools like Trainual can work with AI to create entire training programs from a single video or screen recording.

But it doesn’t stop there. Workflow agents can:

Act as your office manager
Organize policies, tasks, and internal comms
Manage customer support with pre-trained bots

“If you’re still making a human answer FAQs or reschedule calls, you’re living in 2015.”

In other words? Let AI handle the 80% of repetitive, predictable operations—and focus your time on high-impact moves.

Agent #4: The Amplifier Agent – Your Content Beast

Creating great content is hard. But distributing it across every channel, consistently, is even harder.

Unless… you have the Amplifier Agent.

This AI agent can:

Turn long-form content into clips, posts, and tweets
Auto-publish across platforms
Optimize for reach and SEO
Repurpose evergreen content on autopilot

Matt shared an eye-opening example:

“I saw a band with hundreds of thousands of Spotify listeners—and it’s all AI-generated. The voices, the music, it never gets tired. It just improves with audience feedback.”

From podcasts to TikToks, the future of content is automated. And if you’re not leveraging AI, you’re falling behind.

Agent #5: The Money Agent – Financial Clarity, Finally

Ask any entrepreneur what keeps them up at night, and you’ll hear it: cash flow.

The Money Agent is your CFO in the cloud. It:

Tracks expenses and invoices
Alerts you to cash leaks or fraud
Forecasts revenue
Keeps everything clean and visual

No more spreadsheets from hell or accounting black holes.

Matt explains:

“You can train AI to proactively warn you. I had one catch a bank error before I even saw it. That’s real-time financial protection.”

In a world where every dollar counts, this kind of clarity isn’t optional—it’s your edge.

💡 Pro Tip: Connect your financial stack (Stripe, QuickBooks, etc.) to AI dashboards and get daily insights into your business health.

So… Is AI Replacing Humans?

Not at all. As Matt clarifies:

“AI handles repetition. Humans handle emotion, vision, nuance. That’s the new hybrid model.”

AI isn’t here to take your job—it’s here to take your chores, so you can focus on creating real value.
